âSaharawisâ is misspelled as âSahrawisâ
3 times, including the headline 
The damage worldwide from these current fascists governments will take generations to repair. Hopefully we all can stop a future global conflict. (unfortunately America is on the âAxis of Evilâ team, this time around )

Morocco was the first nation to recognize the US as a âlegitimateâ country. Who says that we never repay our debts?

The pompous one is a case study, together with the dead bolt and their cronies of the shovel load of the $#it S#0w of privileged royal magic wand to engage genocide at all stages of prep and profit. Insensate is the word that most readily comes to mind. The toxins so deeply penetrating the system that the foundations, since the 20th century (canât make this stuff up) have had to move aside so they can continue to provide the structures, for, say the clinton foundation to do what it did in Haiti.
An embassy in Western Sahara. It sounds so harmless and natural. How quaint. Just a few battalions of mercenaries. What could go wrong?

The axis of illegal occupation and theft of territory and resources by the US and its âspecial allyâ Israel are case studies of contempt for International Law and the UN Charter all member nations/states are bound to support, and Human rights of indigenous peoples.
Occupation by aggressor countries violates the Fourth Geneva Convention prescripts against so-called settlements and moving people into areas under occupation by force; a crime and overt contempt for the rule of law, but that is what the US especially overtly under the trump regime,that lap-dog for Israeli racist extremism, terrorism, and their supremacist mindset cloaked in religious âfreedomâ.
Free Palestine! Independence for Sahrawi Western Sahara! BDS!

Especially with governments who will sell out the people by playing ball with the US and controlling a countryâs natural resources to US benefit. We couldnât possibly be on the wrong side of justice so many damn times by accident. The only conclusion is that we are a terrorist, bully state and the biggest contributor to world violence and suffering and against democracy everywhere we see self-benefit to do so.

Actually, Sahrawis is the more common spelling (see for example, ~https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahrawi_people)

Unfortunately for the Sahrawis, Pompeo would not be announcing this move a few weeks before Biden takes over if he thought Biden would reverse course. He either knows Biden will continue the oppression or he knows Trump will pull a coup. Either way, he is assured that this policy will continue under any next administration. Both parties are war parties. Itâs the one thing we still do effectively.

My guess would be that the Biden administration will reverse this policy fairly early on. The foreign policy establishment (both Dâs and Râs) has long favored a Sahrawis vote on independence. For example, it is strongly favored by Senator Inhofe who represents the Republicans on the issue. The main reason Trump made this move was to piss off Inhofe in a vindictive move because he didnât tow Trumpâs line on a couple of issues.
We shall see, although Iâm not sure what timeframe you mean by âearly onâ. Regardless, I hope that you are right and I am wrong.
âconsulateâ = spy base, as everywhere.

Yes, the curtains are being opened one by one and we will ALL come to realize some day that we are not the goodie two shoes nation many think we are.
Donât we have enough to get done at home? Why must we keep gifting Israel?

It is good that you chose to highlight âallâ.
In reply to both Maineac and you, think on this:
- Could the average of the lot of us, drugged by the notion of American Exceptionalism, survive a mere thirty minutes in the shoes of the average contemporary Vietnamese, Indian, Russian, German, Chinese or Norwegian in terms of useful work-product output?
- Albeit that we are propped up by a fiat currency, who actually underwrites our lavish materialistic lifestyles, considering that one-third of our young adults have âcollege degreesâ in criminal justice, gender studies and mass communications (whatever the heck those things are) and yet manage to gain incomes based on this?
Feckless sheep we all are ⌠after all, why let a little inconvenience like the slaughter of Yemenis interfere with our buck-fifty triple-mocha-latte and the latest discourse of Cardi B?

I guess a positive point is we arenât stealing someone elseâs oil, this time.

Well, we can no doubt be sure âweâ are stealing some natural resource or catering to another state that will, or in some devious way benefit by the oppression and theft of territory of another people by corrupt US client statesâŚ
Not without a shitload of whining and crying.
Hi Maineac,
Following is a response that Iâd written to another post on another topic but it nonetheless applies here (which is quite scary, come to think of it).
Yes, unfortunately - but there is enough blame to go around, though, inclusive of:
- American corporate greed;
- American individual greed;
- Tel Aviv / Zionists / AIPAC or whatever the hell weâre permitted to safely refer to them as lest we be conveniently labelled anti-Semitic; youâd be amazed at the mental gymnastics that some indulge in to paint any criticism of Israel as ⌠wait for it ⌠racist, these the same people who treat the Palestinians as ⌠oh, never mind;
- Cousin Brandon who wants to follow in the âproudâ memory of gramps and enter NROTC to âserve our country;â
- Pole-dancer Brandy who wants to âget her life straightened outâ and enlist in the army to access the GI Bill to cover the expenses for that all so important associate degree in Gender Studies, whatever the hell that means in the real world;
- Those of us who attend church service every Sunday and nod approvingly whenever Pastor Jerry says âEye-ran bad;â
- Those of us who wander around mindlessly, swilling our buck-fifty lattes, never - ever - contemplating how the hell we are so privileged so as to live our relatively (to the rest of the world) lavish lifestyles when only around 6% of our entire population of over three hundred million contribute meaningfully - that is, via actual, internationally recognizable work-product - to our legitimate economy;
- The spineless leeches who âinviteâ the US to help them establish âdemocracyâ over their nations, who are the worst of the lot mentioned here.
Take care,
âŚ
